Although there are extra pounds post pregnancy is not the time to begin to diet, whether you are breastfeeding or not. Healthy weight loss is essential, and a change to your nutritional program to reflect your body's changing needs is the answer.
Nutritional dieting with a weight loss of about a half pound to a pound weekly is safe for a breastfeeding mom. For a bottle feeding mom, follow the USDA Food Guide Pyramid.
